Love of the Nature

 

I completed this painting around the time when I was 13 years old. 

When I saw the original picture for this painting, I fell in love with the dark, mysterious background. The way the mountains reflect on the lake, to me truly symbolizes peace and beauty. 

I also really like the way some of the woman's body is shadowed in darkness and some is captured in the moonlight.

Before this painting, I had never done a full body piece and I actually prefer not to. But I know that I can never get better at something unless I practice so I guarantee that I will do somewhat similar painting as to this one in the future.
